    here's the problem w/ most of hte posts in this thread. they could be fake. you're posting charts and adding arrows to when you bought in and sold. in the other thread, people are posting their buy-in when they buy-in. they're talking about what they bought before they sold, the why. Why...

    I have a few wall mounted tvs in my home, but they all had power cords hanging down... For years. I recently picked up this kit and it was pretty painless. I didn't want to try to pull Romex and go through studs, this was a good compromise. https://a.co/d/3SnPxB3 The mounting screws are 1...

    Car Insurance / Home Insurance

    How much of a pain in the ass is it to switch if my car and home are through state farm? I've basically had the same account with them since I turned 16 and rates are just bananas now. Do they need to do an inspection to switch my home over? Do I need to do anything with my bank? They have an...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Butter on steak is pretty common in restaurants, Pan or grilled You're right about too much oil fat in sous vide though. That much can coat the tongue and prevent you from tasting anything. Like Homer at that chili contest But pesto is also a lot of strong flavors, and it's folded into plain...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    I sous vide chicken about 2x a month. Either breasts or boneless thighs. I add a small jar of pesto to the bag, then cook for 2 hours. Poor the juices over pasta, easy dinner. My kids love it, call it green chicken

    Do you qualify for Hyperphantasia?

    I can still relive dreams I had as a kid. I can close my eyes and watch some if my favorite movies. I can still taste and smell some of my favorite meals, some going back to when I was a teenager. Audio is probably my weakest. I can "hear" Bohemian Rhapsody anytime I want. And I can tell...

    This is my confusion. We're 3 + years of high inflation. Sure, it started cause of momentary policy reacting to COVID ( increasing demand) and reduced inventory due to factories closing ( reduced supply). So the first year we had crazy inflation. Then still higher than 2% the next year...

    na, these are companies that went IPO. those founders get some option to buy stock at like a 99% discount. and only those founders can buy the stock at that price. and they can buy it at that price in their roth. i think Jeff Bezos or Elon did that w/ just 6k the year something went IPO and...

    there was a list posted here a year or 2 ago, listing a few Roths that had millions. The winning play is to be founder/startup status for some company and buy stock for pennies on the dollar in your Roth. i htink there was a bill proposed to stop just that.

    energy use by man has always inclined. think wood, whale oil, etc. the fact that the gov't is trying to force energy change that prevents this trend is just crazy to me. eventually, we'll all be dead or we'll have a dyson ring.

    Interesting. He's got a major problem though, he can't seem to stick with something. We keep hearing it's but it's fault, and I'm inclined to believe everything I've heard so far. Still, this will be the foundation of X-Men going forward, so I hope he's fully committed.
